Sex Workers Made OnlyFans A Success, Celebrities Are Now Ruining It

We’ve got it all covered this week: book recommendations, drunk DMs, dating apps gone wrong and Brad Pitt HAS A GIRLFRIEND?! (who unfortunately isn’t either of us). Then it’s onto a discussion around splitting the bill - when women are still paid substantially less than men, is it anti-feminist of us to want a man to pay for the first date? Plus, paid subscription platform OnlyFans made its millions - 700 to be exact - from the sex workers who use its services, but now celebrities are getting involved - and seemingly ruining everything. After Bella Thorne signed up and promised nude photos to all of the 50,000 (!) people who paid $200 (!) to see them and then failed to deliver, OnlyFans changed its policies, leaving the sex workers who rely on it for their income - especially during a pandemic - out in the cold. We. Have. Questions. We also speak about the impact Chadwick Boseman, the 'Black Panther' star who died last week after a private battle with cancer, had on the Black community and Hollywood as a whole and why his death now, in 2020, hits harder.
